I am particularly interested in the political and economic structures that perpetuate disabled people's marginalisation.

My research focuses on the role of activism and social movements in developing a safe, fair, and inclusive society. I am also interested in political sociology, processes of social policy development and implementation, and notions of ableism.

I am an academic in the School of Sociology and Social Policy, at the University of Leeds in the UK. My work revolves around practices of migration and migrant lives particularly in connection with migrant integration, citizenship, migrants' rights, intra-EU mobility and migration control. Her work contributes to our critical understanding of how in a globalised world and rising anti-immigrant sentiment, receiving societies accommodate migrant communities, prescribe rights to non-citizens and, in doing do, they transform ideals of citizenship. I have six years of experience in migration research.
My research interests are comparative migrants’ rights regimes, immigrant integration and race relations, citizenship, freedom of movement in EU, attitudes towards immigrants and Roma people, unaccompanied minors and the sociology of human rights. I am particularly interested in new and atypical migrations in UK and Europe.

I hold a PhD in Development Policy and Management and currently lectures at the Global Development Institute (GDI), The University of Manchester, where I convene the Human and Digital Development (HDD) teaching cluster which manages several key postgraduate programmes within the GDI, including the MSc degrees in Human Resource Development, ICTs for Development and, Management and Information Systems. I am a development policy and strategy expert specializing in innovation policy, national capacity development/education planning and public sector transformation in developing contexts. My current research interests focus on understanding the critical role played by leaders, elites, and coalitions in promoting or retarding development reforms, especially public sector reforms in developing countries (DCs). I am particularly interested in the ethics of leadership and the politics of trust and cooperation in public sector governance as well as how complex policy problems such as corruption and incentive structures shape the standards for public sector governance; and how these issues impact public sector employees in developing contexts. The second strand of my research explores the implications of the emerging fourth industrial revolution for the future of work and skills development in developing and transitioning contexts, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
